Last updated: December 2026 - FTC compliant - Full transparency
01
What is affiliate marketing?
Paris Labyrinths participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you click affiliate links or purchase through our recommendations, we earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
How it works: Partner companies (hotels, booking sites, tour operators) provide us commissions when members make purchases. This allows us to fund quality content creation.
You pay the same price: Our commission comes from the partner—you never pay more because of an affiliate link.

– [Ad] prefix
– Disclosure notice
Tooltip on hover:Â Links often display a tooltip indicating the affiliate relationship.
Contextual disclosure:Â Articles containing affiliate links include a disclosure statement early in the content.
04
How commissions don't affect our recommendations
editorial integrity
Receiving commissions does not influence our recommendations. We maintain editorial integrity by following strict guidelines.
We only recommend:
– Services we’ve personally experienced
– Products members genuinely ask about
– Solutions offering real value for Paris travel
– Businesses meeting our quality standards
We don’t recommend solely because they’re affiliate partners. If a hotel or service doesn’t meet our standards, we won’t recommend it even if we earn a commission.
05
Our honest opinion
All recommendations reflect our genuine assessment based on:
– Personal experience and visits
– Member feedback and reviews
– Value for money assessment
– Relevance to Paris travel
– Reliability and reputation
– Quality of service or product
We publish honest reviews, including constructive criticism. Affiliate relationships don’t change what we write—positive or negative.
06
Sponsored vs. affiliate content
Affiliate content (marked clearly):Â Our genuine recommendations, we earn commission if you purchase.
Sponsored content (marked clearly): Paid partnership, we received payment from the brand for the article. See Sponsored Content Policy for details.
Regular content (no marking needed):Â Our unpaid recommendations with no affiliate or sponsorship relationship.
07
Commission rates (for transparency)
Commission rates vary by partner and product type:
– Hotels & accommodation: 2-10% depending on platform
– Tours & activities: 5-15% commission per booking
– Books & products: 4-10% affiliate commission
– Travel insurance: 5-20% depending on provider
Commission rates do not affect pricing to you. Hotels and services set their own prices—our commission doesn’t add to your cost.
08
Why we use affiliate links
Funding quality content: Commissions help cover:
– Site hosting and infrastructure
– Regular content creation
– Research and travel documentation
– Customer support and community management
– Continuous improvement and updates
Benefit to members: Affiliate revenue allows us to provide premium content at lower membership costs. Without affiliate partnerships, memberships would be more expensive.
